Airlines should offer far fewer flights. Artificially restricting supply to increase the price of flights will make people think a lot more about flying to destinations that might otherwise be unnecessary. Then, airlines can finally offer flights to people who are willing to register for the flights several months in advance for a price that can turn a profit and no longer requires government subsidy.

I realize that you guys want to be able to fly across the world with fewer than 24 hours notice, but you will need to pay a several thousand dollar premium in order to do so.

Sometimes the simplest solution is to realize that the customer is not always right.

This is competition driven more than customer demand driven. One airline cuts their flights and raises prices to a more realistic level, and ten more swoop in the fill the void and undercut the prices.

the hosed part is that I'm usually going to visit people in GA, so I end up renting a car in JAX and driving up

Still don't understand how Delta thinks that two flights are cheaper than one

they don't.

but they practically own ATL so they can charge whatever they want. so people terminating at ATL pay more, and that subsidizes the people who pay much less to do the same flight PLUS and extra leg because they need lower prices to compete with other airlines at the other airport. it is dumb business and airlines are loving retarded.
